Chapter 985 - 894: Girlfriend
The themed restaurant revolves around a starry sky theme. In the small lounge, the projector emits an icy blue light that casts starry patterns onto the ceiling and walls. Soon, the icy blue light shifts to blue-violet and then to orange-red, like rapidly flickering auroras. It’s beautiful.The three women sit around a table made of vines, resting their heads as they admire the creative projector, and start chatting about their recent lives, each taking turns speaking.
Hua Tiantian complains about the conflict she and Huang Shan had in the theater, naturally leading to a conversation about Su Lan’s scene in Meng Yan’s office a few days ago.
Xu Jiaojiao leans her head against the chair, and says nonchalantly, "How do you know Su Lan has good intentions? Maybe she has thoughts about your Mr. Meng?"
Hua Tiantian frowns, "Not likely. If Su Lan had thoughts about Mr. Meng, she should take action! But from what I’ve observed these past few days, she’s been seriously focusing on her acting. She’s nothing like those social climbers."
Xu Jiaojiao’s lips curl up as she rests her hand on the armrest of the vine chair, crossing her legs, "Tian Tian, do you think, given your intelligence, you can see through a person’s true motives?"
Qin Miaomiao lightly coughs, indicating Xu Jiaojiao should be more tactful with her words, but she also agrees with Xu Jiaojiao’s statement.
Hua Tiantian, with her head lowered, feels a bit disheartened, "I know I’m dumb, but I’m not stupid. Whether or not Su Lan becomes my rival, I can still figure that out."
Hua Tiantian recalls that Meng Yan once mentioned in front of her that Su Lan resembles Rong Lan’s sister — that’s what we call attraction. Meng Yan thinks highly of Su Lan but only as a sister in his heart. If she couldn’t trust Mr. Meng with such a minor thing, Mr. Meng would be really disappointed.
Xu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but laugh. Her face naturally radiates, and a waiter, who has been secretly watching her from afar, immediately covers his mouth and shrieks quietly, snapping candid photos of her. A bold waiter even approached her, asking for her contact details, subtly inquiring if she has a girlfriend.
Girlfriend!
Hua Tiantian’s eyes sparkle with amusement, but she holds back her laughter.
Qin Miaomiao blinks and looks up at the sky.
After all, every time Xu Jiaojiao goes out with the two of them, she’s mistaken for a handsome guy. This wasn’t the first occurrence. Qin Miaomiao remembers when they went out during the domestic Valentine’s Day, and a young girl selling flowers stopped them — or more accurately, stopped Xu Jiaojiao, trying to figure out if she should buy flowers for her two girlfriends.
Xu Jiaojiao doesn’t mind being treated as a man. Men are handsome and can flirt with girls freely without emotional burdens.
Because of this interruption, Hua Tiantian feels her emotional burden lighten a bit.
Xu Jiaojiao seizes the opportunity to say, "Tian Tian, I was just speaking offhandedly, don’t take it to heart. I’ll keep an eye on Su Lan for you. If she dares to pull any tricks, I’ll cut her off first."
Qin Miaomiao claps, "Nice, very nice, the sisterhood squad is unstoppable."
Hua Tiantian laughs, her eyes crescent-shaped, and her dimples could hold the most delicious glutinous rice wine balls. Xu Jiaojiao remarks how lucky Meng Yan is to be genuinely treated by such a sweet and innocent girl.
Xu Jiaojiao lifts her head to drink a cup of fruit tea, just as Qin Miaomiao asks her, "How are things between you and Jin Jing?" Both of you have put on engagement rings, how come there’s no news of further developments?"
Xu Jiaojiao shrugs, "He’s already taken a big step forward by proposing willingly." She gestures as she speaks, "Next, I’m still deciding whether to proceed at my pace or his pace?"
Hua Tiantian listens in confusion, "What pace?"
Qin Miaomiao smiles, patiently waiting for Xu Jiaojiao to continue.
